2 INLAND WATERWAYS NAVIGATION IN EUROPE INE sees major opportunities to contribute to long-term strategies for sustainable transportation by moving more goods by water in EU regions and cities with accessible and navigable rivers and canals. WHO WHAT WHY Network of waterway managers, ministries and organisations promoting waterway transport EU advocacy for policies which make waterway transport easier to use Promotion Networking Use better existing asset of waterways Improve mobility with more freight and people on water

3 WATERWAYS IN EUROPE EU Waterways km ½ accessible to tonne vessels 19 out of 28 EU Member States have navigable waterways 550 million tonnes per year EU Roads km EU Railways km Waterways elsewhere USA km Russia km China km

4 NO TRAFFIC JAMS Slower but reliable only mode with spare capacity Rotterdam Duisburg 24 hours Paris Le Havre 36 hours Basel Antwerp 48 hours Lyon Marseille 48 hours

5 WATERWAY GEOGRAPHY Strong in navigable regions Low transport share in EU28 BUT, up to 40% in hinterland of major seaports 83% of waterfreight in BE, DE, NL Strong link with combination presence of markets and quality of infrastructure 140 billion tkm/y

6 HISTORIC ADVANTAGE Plenty of waterborne trade opportunities Most people in EU live near coast or in main river valleys.
